Cats

The Ripley County Humane Society is a no kill animal shelter that provides quality care and shelter to strays, abused, injured or unwanted dogs and cats, in a clean, safe, nurturing, cost effective environment, resulting in securing forever homes regardless of the amount of time involved in the effort.

Our organization is a foster based rescue that special in neonatal and special needs animals. Neonates and special needs are a very critical population that other rescues do not have the ability of knowledge on how to care for properly.

We are primarily formed to reduce the number of feral cats in our local community through TNR. We do help social cats to find homes. We also adopt out the kittens born to feral mothers.

I have been in rescue for over 30 years. I have worked with and through other non profits previously but decided to found and open my own, with all of the contacts I have made through the years.

Our group started in 2019 because our founding member, Willadean Jackson, was upset when she saw the terrible living conditions at the Macon City Shelter (basically a dog pound). She reached out to others on Facebook and we created a non-profit to assist animals in Macon County Missouri (in the small town shelters and in the very rural areas). Since then, we have been helping animals in neighboring Shelby County as well because there's no humane society in our two counties. We are basically in "no man's land" when it comes to getting assistance for animals in need. Our goal at first was to build a shelter, but we could see that would cost more money than we fundraise. In the past 5 years we have grown greatly in numbers, numbers of members and animals saved. We, like most rescues, we are overwhelmed by the number of emails, messages, and calls we get from people needing our services. Now our main goal is to provide spay/neuter services for our community and try to slow down the pet population. We have been blessed to have several large donations to help provide free spay/neuter surgeries. We have also worked with the city of Macon to improve the conditions of the shelter. Now it's a much better place for a dog to find itself than it was years ago. It hasn't been easy getting to where we are now. We have had members come and go, but right now we have a great group of people that truly go out of their way to help the animals in our area.

We are a 501(c)(3) rescue based in Northern Virginia. We have been rescuing animals since our opening in 2002. We primarily rescue cats and kittens. We also provide TNR for cats. Rescuing animals is our passion!

I'm Brittany the president of CRR. I have worked in vets offices and with rescues and I always wanted to help special needs and unwanted animals.

Angus & Friends Cat Rescue, aka, Angus & Friends, Inc., works collaboratively with other groups to do Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR), and to find loving, furrever homes for as many stray cats, and kittens, as possible. We are passionate about the cats, and about educating the public about ways to help the cats and kittens that cross their paths with the goal of reducing the numbers of community cats on the streets. Angus & Friends, Inc., is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) public charity organization that aims to reduce the numbers of community cats who suffer lives of deprivation and pain. As a small organization, we recognize the importance of working with other rescue groups to accomplish this goal due to the sheer numbers of cats and kittens born. We can be most effective when we can access the most resources, and we can do that by actively seeking out help wherever it is needed, and offering help whenever we have the resources.

We are a foster based rescue along the gulf coast who takes in the abandoned, abused, sick, stray, etc from shelters and individuals in the community. We vet the animals and get them healthy and then adopt out into an approved home through application, references and home visits.
